Wel if you don't want Ubuntu (which is by far the best imo) you can try OpenSuse. If you want a server I'd say go with Debian.
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit Creators Update
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 960 @ 3.6 GHz Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB GDDR5 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3 AM3+ Revision RAM: HyperX 8GB Dual Channel @ 1600Mhz 10-04-2012, 11:37 AM
I'll probably just go with Xubuntu since it has good support and ill be using XBMC most of the time anyway.

I almost never suggest Slackware since I'm so horribly biased in favor of it But you guys got me, I boot straight into the CLI, but then immediately start up KDE, I just like to see the text scroll across my screen. Plus, this is Slackware's default run-level, and I can't be bothered to change it
Having dealt with trying to make my Slackware powered RaspberryPi into a mini-emu console, it's a (fun) challenge getting the whole thing to work with just a joystick, so I can imagine getting media software to work with just a remote. Any of the *buntus should give you what you want without too much futzing about. 10-04-2012, 01:25 PM
Ubuntu tends to be the more user-friendly distro, so ill go with that one.
I'm not entirely certain how to get a remote set up with my computer currently actually; I was planning on using this cool little keyboard-trackball combo remote that I have. That way I could search for things and do more computer stuff from the couch.

There are some nice tools on Linux that will let you use your Wiimote as a mouse, and I think you can map the buttons to key presses. Wiimotes are cooler than real remotes anyway :3
